title: Allergy during anaesthetic procedures.
abstract: Our purpose is to discover and discuss allergic accidents during the course of general anaesthesia.
  We have discussed the mechanisms involved, the principal agents, their character as allergens and diagnostic means.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We highlight the role of plasmatic tryptase in immediate diagnosis and that of cutaneous tests for aetiological diagnosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In accordance with the tests discussed, we propose a few lines of action to be taken.
